Application led March 10, 1909. Serial No. 482,594.

To all whom it may concern.'

Bc it known that I, AUGUSTUS C. WILLIAMS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brookfield, in the county of Linn, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and usci'ul Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burnersg and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and. exact description of the invention, suoli as will enable others skilled in the art to'which it appertains to-make and use the seine. y

Thepresen-t invention relates to improvef vnintsin hydrocarbon burners, and it has for its eneral yobject the vproduction of an extreme y simple and inexpensive deviceof the ltype ,spec1fied, constructed yin such a manner asI to permit the supply. oit hydrocarloon fed through the ricardol to he regulated at will, and to prevent the nozzle from bel coming overheated.

W ith the above-mentioned and' other ends in view, the invention resides, first: in einployingA a cup-shaped regulating'valve which is threaded in thel nozzle and is arranged for nun'ement within the saine, the peripheral Wall of thevaluebeing formed with a series of vertical slots whose Working lengthv is increased or decreased according as the valve stein is turned in one direction or the other; and second: in surrounding the hydrocarbon supply pipe and the nozzle by a. jacket through which a continuous stream of cooling fluid is passed.

The preferred embodiment et' the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional. view of the complete invention, and Fig. 2'is a transverse sectional view `teilten on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Reference being had to the drawings, and the designating characters thereon, A indi cates in a general manner, the supply pipe for the oil or other suitable hydrocarbon luidLB- the nozzle thereof, C the water jacket, and D the regulating valve.

The water jacket which surrounds the ysupply pipe com rises a body portion 5, I,fand upper and lovler caps (l and 7 threaded ends thereof, the upper ,cap being formed, in turn, with threaded openings in which` are littcd the end vand outlet pipes 8 and Sl. A

The nozzlell is'forined integral with'the V lower cap and includes a tubular body portion 10 and a, nozzle proper' 11, the latter s of: the Water, inletv having an outlet' opening' The upper portion of the valve body is inclined outwardly or flared, as indicated by the numeral 13, the upper edge of this lared'porf bushing 4extends thevertical stein 155 of the regulating valve D, the exposed upper end of said stem. having a handwlieel 1t) secured thereto. The valve 4pm per 20, which is fastened tothe lower end olt lthe stein -isin 4the forni of an invertedcup. .This portion of the valve has its peripheral Wall exten.

nally threaded and is designedto be screwed linto the tubular body portion 10 oi the nozzle, lthe inner wall of said body portion having threads cut therein, as shown. The aboref-mentioned wall ot' the valve cup has cut therein a series off four inclined feed slots 2l, which are arranged at equal disltances apart from each other and terminate shortof the upper edge of 'said wall.

By reason of this construction, it will be apparent that when the handwheel 19 is turned in one direction the valve cup will be caused to advance toward the nozzle proper 1l, and when the Wheel .is turned in the opposite direction said cup will retreat therefrom. ln the ,first instance the eir osed or, edective length of the four slots Will be gradually diminished, and hence, the quantity of oil which passes through said slots to the outlet 12 will he proportionately decreased; in the second instance, the effective length of the slots and, in consequence, the quantity of oil fed therethrough will be gradually increased. A

t will. be seen from an inspection of the drawings that the supply pipe, as Well as the'body portio`1| of the nozzle is completely' 'inclosed within the jacket. A. Hence these elements of the device as entirely surrounded by the water, or other cooling fluid, which passes in a continuous stream through the jacket. There is or this reason no danger 'of the nozzle becoming overheated, since the Water is in direct contact yat all times with the iii'ajor 01' body portion thereof, the only exposed portion of the nozzle being that in yi io which the opening 12 is Yorined, and the thickness of the atter portion is greater' ythan that of the remaining portion oil the cap, as shown in Fig. 1. 4

The invention is thought to be apparent from the foregoing, and further description thereof is accordingly omitted.

What is claimed, is

l. ln a hydrocarbon burner, the combination of a Water jacket', a nozzle having its body portion located Within the jacket, a supply pipe located within said jacket and having its lowerend engaged With said nozzle, and means located Within said pipe for regulating the supply of hydrocarbon delivered to the nozzle.

2. In a hydrocarbon burner, the combination of a Water jacket, a nozzle having the body portion thereof located Within the jacket, a supply pipe located Within said 4jacket and having its lower end engaged fwlth said nozzle, means located w1 thin said pipe for regulatingl the supply of hydrocaron delivered to t e nozzle, and means for passing a continuous stream of cooling fluid through said jacket.

3. In a ydrooarbon burner, the combination of a nozzle formed with an internally threaded stem and an enlarged upper end, a supply pipe having its end fitted in the en larged upper end of the nozzle, a cup valve provided with a series of feed openings and arranged for threaded engagement with the internally threaded stein of the nozzle, and means for rotating said valve to cause same ecaeea to-advance into and retreat from said nozzle to vary the effective area of said openings to control the quantity of gas passing through the nozzle.

4. in a hydrocarbon burner, the combination of a Water jacket comprising a body portion and upper and lower caps fitted upon the ends thereof; a nozzle provided upon the lower cap and having the body portion thereof located Within the jacket; a

supply pipe located Within said jacket and having its lower ,end engaged with said nozzle; and means located Within said pipe for regulating the supply of hydrocarbon delivered to the nozzle.

5. In a hydrocarbon burner, the combination of a jacket comprising a body portion andnpper and lower caps fitted upon the ends thereof; a nozzle provided upon the i GUSS C. WILLIAMS.
